Paul wants to add text to the bill to create an inspector general for oversight of the billions being sent to Ukraine. On Thursday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blocked an effort in the Senate to hold a quick vote on the nearly $40 billion aid package for Ukraine that passed in the House on Tuesday. “My oath of office is to the US constitution not to any foreign nation and no matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the United States of America,” Paul said on the Senate floor before blocking the vote. “We cannot save […]

Historian Gerald Horne discusses how the legacy of Paul Robeson illustrates the lengths to which the American empire will go to destroy and silence its most powerful critics. Heroic dissidents are demonized, marginalized, physically and psychologically destroyed, or assassinated by the American ruling class. Before the persecution of Julian Assange, before the FBI assassination of Fred Hampton and Malcolm X, before the murder of Martin Luther King, there was the relentless campaign to silence the activist, actor, and singer Paul Robeson.

Paul Farhi who wrote the garbage WaPo hit piece about The Gateway Pundit (TGP) this weekend, is one of their leading journalists. He has been with them for 32 years. So it looks like they assigned one of their leading reporters to discredit TGP. Unfortunately, running a quick scan on Farhi shows that he is one of the most dishonest and controversial reporters on the circuit. In June 2017, Fahri accused investigative sensation James O’Keefe as was reported by Hannity at the time: James O’Keefe is firing back at Washington Post reporter Paul Farhi over factually incorrect statements made by Farhi […]
Paul Brody is a Principal and Global Blockchain Leader at EY. Decentralized finance (DeFi) services are booming, but there’s indication it’s recycling the same money around and around. To grow this market, enterprises need to get involved – and that won’t happen until users have privacy and security. In the old-school world of CeFi (centralized finance) it’s common to dismiss DeFi because it is designed to support anonymous transactions that can enable money laundering. This is, of course, completely wrong, but it makes for a good scare story against the competition. In reality, it’s DeFi’s lack of privacy that may become […]

Sen. Rand Paul blasted the lockdown strategy across the U.S. being pushed by Dr. Anthony Fauci and numerous Democratic leaders, calling the closures a “big mistake” that are damaging the economy.

Paul Feig will not let a once-in-a-century pandemic slow him down. He’s balancing far too many plates.

Or how about the projects he’s shepherding through his production company, Powderkeg, like the Issa Rae-starring Netflix film American Princess, Eva Longoria’s directorial debut 24-7, and East of La Brea, a Los Angeles-set TV show centered on two young Muslim-American […]

“There’s so much pain and hatred in the world right now,” Paul Weller, the U.K. musical icon tells me as we sit down to discuss On Sunset, his album due out July 3rd. “I wanted to create something joyful and upbeat, that could give people hope in this moment.” And that’s precisely what On Sunset does.
